Metallics BHDM5 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole does the Metallics BHDM5 bell hanger bit drill, and how deep can it reach?
The BHDM5 is a 1/4 inch diameter bell hanger bit with an 18 inch overall length, so it will pass through a typical stud bay, sill plate, or exterior wall in one pass without an extension. The 1/4 inch hole suits low voltage, alarm, thermostat, and telecom runs rather than conduit.
2) What is the fish hole on a bell hanger drill bit for?
The hole near the tip lets you tie or hook your wire or pull string to the bit itself. You drill through the wall, thread the wire into the fish hole, then back the bit out and the wire comes with it. That is why the BHDM5 is the bit electricians and low voltage installers reach for when drilling and pulling in one trip from one side of a finished wall.
3) Will a carbide tipped bell hanger bit go through masonry as well as wood?
The BHDM5 carries a carbide tip, which is what lets it cut mixed material, wood framing, plaster and lath, stucco, brick, or block, without rolling the edge the way a plain steel bit does on abrasive material. Standard high speed steel bell hanger bits are wood and drywall only.
4) Does the Metallics BHDM5 come as a single bit or in a multi piece set?
One bit per pouch. The BHDM5 ships as a single 1/4 inch by 18 inch bit in a pouch pack, so order one per length and diameter you need rather than expecting an assortment.
5) I need to drill through a 2x4 wall and pull cable from the attic down, what length bell hanger bit do I need?
For a top plate drill and drop, the 18 inch BHDM5 gives you enough reach to clear a double top plate and still have shank in the chuck. If you are drilling through a floor assembly or a thicker exterior assembly and need more reach, step up to a longer bell hanger bit, this one is fixed at 18 inches overall.
